At the risk of excessive snark, are those the same models that predicted the ice caps melting in the 90s? Speaking purely historically, climate models and scientists predicting global catastrophe has happened multiple times, actual global catastrophe has not.

Were this issue not highly politicized, I could openly question the implications of kind of failures without qualification :/

See, that last insult is exactly what I was hoping to avoid. "Hey, this particular field of endeavor has a poor track record of making bad predictions of doom" is a verifiable fact, and you just turned it into partisan shit-flinging.

>Temperatures have topped 100 at the North Pole

No they have not. The highest temperature ever recorded was 56. Cite your sources.

sep_field silently edited their post to change "North Pole" to "the arctic".


This is annoying bickering, made only worse by the fact that you're both quoting temperatures without sources or units.


Here's some news: The arctic melting was already projected with or without human interference. At best, we marginally sped up the process.

> The Polar Vortex has gotten completely destabilized

Yes, every whether phenomenon is now caused by global warming, as if Texas has never seen ice.
